The oil industry is targeting Democratic incumbent Patty Lopez in the San Fernando Valley’s Assembly District 39 race.

The Coalition to Restore California’s Middle Class paid about $66,000 for cable ads and research to oppose Lopez, filings show. Tesoro, Chevron, California Resources Corporation and Valero funded the group in 2015-2016, according to campaign filings.

A 30-second ad paid for by the Coalition states Lopez was fined by the Fair Political Practices Commission for failing to file records. The ad also states Lopez challenger Raul Bocanegra is endorsed by Secretary of State Alex Padilla.

Voicemails left for three of the companies weren’t returned. A message for Tesoro was forwarded to Christy Wilson, the Sacramento-based spokeswoman for the Coalition to Restore California’s Middle Class.

“The Coalition to Restore California’s Middle Class supports leaders who have protected California jobs and the middle class and share our commitment to policies that help businesses thrive,” Wilson said in a statement.

Bocanegra served one term in the state Assembly before losing the seat after Lopez’s 2014 unexpected win.

More than $500,000 has been spent on his behalf by outside groups seeking to return him to Sacramento. Those backing Bocanegra include: Cooperative of American Physicians IE Committee, Dart Container, Philip Morris USA, California Dental Association IE Pac and California Apartment Association IE, among others.

Attorney and activist Janice Kamenir-Reznik is jumping into the Senate District 27 race to represent the Stevenson Ranch-to-Malibu district overseen by outgoing state Sen. Fran Pavley.

Kamenir-Reznik decided last week to run at supporters’ urging, her political consultant Marc Litchman said Wednesday night.

“She’s been heavily recruited to get into the race,” Litchman said.

Kamenir-Reznik’s announcement upends the race to represent Senate District 27, a seat also sought by top Pavley staffer Henry Stern.

On Wednesday night, Los Angeles County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl and former supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky , who’d previously backed Stern, said they’d switched their support to Kamenir-Reznik after she told them she was getting in the race.

Yaroslavsky called Janice a close personal friend and pointed to her work as president of the California Women’s Law Center, which advocates for the rights of women and girls.

“She is a dynamic, energetic and visionary leader who will be a great State Senator,” Yaroslavsky wrote in an email. “If elected, she will instantly have a profound impact on California, our region and the San Fernando Valley.”

Kamenir-Reznik is co-founder and president of Jewish World Watch, an organization dedicated to the fight against genocide. She practiced law as a partner of Jeffer, Mangels, Butler and Mitchell, and helped run a law firm with her husband, Ben Reznik, for more than a decade.

Ben Reznik is a registered lobbyist at City Hall who helps fundraise for local politicians.

Shawn Bayliss, an aide to Los Angeles City Councilman Paul Koretz, is also among those running. Jim Dantona, a top staffer to Los Angeles City Councilwoman Nury Martinez, withdrew from the race last year.
